I'm Seriously Contemplating Moving To The USA

[eejit101]

Figured i should post something "origional":)

What im thinking is after the end of the summer season here in Blackpool (which is busy and fun) im gonna move there. Not sure where exactly, but i know ill land in MN and go visit our lovely forum admin bloke. From there its a case of finding a job, and accomodation.

Obviously I would want to travel round a bit, so id definatly go down to LA, LV, and NYC, any maybe Chicago (preferably when the Braves are there). Everyone on here is more than welcome to arrnange visitions from your favourite welsh person! (me, jsut incase)

So, what i was wondering is.....

Does anyone know what Id need in order to do this?

I know i need a passport, duh. I know i need a bit of money saved before i come.

Job wise, i can always look when i get there, ill have my croupier license sorted by then so casino work would be fun. Im awesome running a bar, im british too so that shud help. Id do anything as long as its fun...

Do i need a VISA, or insurance, or what?

Anyone know?

If so, let me know!

Post links if they are helpful, or advice, or anything.

[taylovesthebeatles]

I have a British friend who was an Au Pair in the States for a few years, I'll ask him what you'll need the next time I talk to him and let you know.

And if you come visit Klink and I in OK (if you're stateside by then we'll invite you to our wedding!), we'll give you all the Double Stuf oreos you want!

As a side note, how many people on here would be able to/interested in attending our wedding? It won't happen until at least next summer, maybe sometime in 2011 depending on some various complicated financial things.

[eejit101]

Ill come if its close enough!

off that bat u will need a work visa. you wont be allowed in if u say u are here to work and visit people. no work visa no work and entry to the usa. and thats about it. oh and a 9mm to accompany u to the hard streets of minnesota. lmao. other than that u will be all good.

[eejit101]

Can i lie, say im here on a road trip, cultural assessment thing.

Then just stay?

[GloBug]

lol u will be deported like the illegals. then wont even allow u in past customs. they will make u take a flight back to blackpool. just get one and u will have no problems. also if u didnt have a accent then maybe u could get away with finding a job but its a dead give away. lol

[navuta]

Everything will workout for u on the end my friend;
Wish u luck<>.
At the tables also.!

[eejit101]

Apparently i have a problem....

Thank you for taking the time to complete American Visa Bureau’s Online Assessment. Unfortunately, it appears you are not eligible for a visa to live and work in America for one or more of the following reasons:

You do not have a job offer from a US employer; and/or
You do not have family in America who are eligible to sponsor you; and/or
Your country does not have a treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation or a Bilateral Investment Treaty with the US; and/or
You do not have sufficient funds to invest in America.

[BnLM5]

You could marry an American woman this would solve alot of your problems. However it would be creating a whole list of new problems. lol

[BnLM5]

I have a British friend who was an Au Pair in the States for a few years, I'll ask him what you'll need the next time I talk to him and let you know.

If I had the money Tay I would def. go. I would love that. :)

[PANAMHIEST]

There are several progams that the U.S government has in place for people of a another country to be able to come over and start your own business, maybe a gas station will work out good, but it wont be fun i think. You can also come in on a student visa which could get you in for 4 years or more, depending on the school and what your doing, and during that time you could be applying for permanent citizenship, or maybe marry in while your here. A charming lad like yourself should have no trouble at all!

[knowledge]

Eejit we really have enough problems here without one more Brit coming over. I hear Austrailia is really nice you would fit right in there, you already have the accent...........LOL

[freeringo]

You can stay at my cabin at 6000 feet for 7 months free rent.
No bills to pay. Just water my garden.

You will have to grow a beard to fit in.

[freeringo]

I can hook you up with my best friend Simon.
He has a house in Plumas county (empty 5 months a year) and
a bed and breakfast in Nelson British Columbia.
You could stay for free there too. You just have to clean and do repairs,
cause he's a slob. But he has lots of money.

[Dallas12]

I don't know if this will help you but take a look at this.

•Inform the tax authorities that you are leaving.

Don't worry about this one Eejit.
You got to have money first, for them to care.

[nodepositneeded]

Start in Canada and work your way down (I hear Canada will take anyone these days).

[taylovesthebeatles]

If I had the money Tay I would def. go. I would love that. :)

We'd definitely love to have you! It'd be awesome! Woo Lori at my bachelorette party! lol.

[GloBug]

[freeringo]

If scotland yard is after you and you come to USA

[GloBug]

You know I'm all in. Wait, isn't that poker talk?

well it depends. it can be sex talk it can be many trhings . its all in how u look at things. lol

[taylovesthebeatles]

well it depends. it can be sex talk it can be many trhings . its all in how u look at things. lol

It's especially sex talk if the word "stack" is also included in the discussion.

[BnLM5]

Okay then let me see if I am understanding this correctly... I respond to a post about a BBQ saying "I am all in", thinking this could be poker talk, now it could be sex talk????

[BnLM5]

OMG! lol never mind would you all just scratch that last post as I am seeing what you are talking about. One of these days I WILL learn to think before I speak. lol

[taylovesthebeatles]

hahahaha you're amazing Lori! You make me laugh and smile!

[ROGUE63]

[GloBug]

OMG! lol never mind would you all just scratch that last post as I am seeing what you are talking about. One of these days I WILL learn to think before I speak. lol

ah come on lori i know u were talking about the bbq but i just wanted to get a laugh out of yah and u didnt catch it. lol u goit to have a dirty mind. and when i think of stack. i think of like 4 women on top of me. lol choo chooooooo

[BnLM5]

Every now and again yep, but sometimes it takes a min. (I was tired last night) You know trying to figure out how to get your wooley friend here in the States and all. Why don't we rub in the humiliation though. It makes it that much more exciting. :)

[GloBug]

hey its like rubbin one out lol. jk. wow so u really want eejit to come out huh? yeah it would be nice to see him but i just dont want him to make a bad mistake and get screwed. thats y i told him to take his time and get all the paper work he needs to be okay with all our immigration laws.

[BnLM5]

well of coarse I wouldn't mind meeting him, just like you or any of my friends here at NDN. (I do classify some as friends here) This is the only place I have ever actually conversed with any one other that my online classes where I am required to interact. Although I must confess, that is not why I was tired last night. But I was tired nonetheless so I had to blame it on something. Right? Why not blame it on eejit every body else does. also tried to keep the forum on track. And def if he is really contemplating moving to the US he should do it all properly or it will defeat his entire purpose and bring problems into his life. But if he does ever get here (wooo hoooo let's party baby!) we will have to all get together and have a BBQ or something.

yes i agree with u on the bbq. it would be great and a nice buyin poker tourney too. it would be good times.

[taylovesthebeatles]

Hey blaming stuff on eejit is always fun and the way to go. A BBQ does indeed sound awesome, and of course we have to have a poker tournament!!

[BnLM5]

Cool Tay, will you be coming to California? There is more of us (Glo and family, me and family, any one else in CA etc.) than there is you and klink. Just being reasonable and selfish. lol Funny, planning a party that we will have to have one day whether or not the guest of honor will ever or even wants to come.

[taylovesthebeatles]

Once klinkman and I are married we may be able to swing that, but it'll be more difficult than somewhere closer. Depending when though, maybe we could all meet somewhere in the middle, like New Mexico? Or we could possibly be persuaded to honeymoon in California, lol. We'll see!

I have tossed around the idea of holding a poker tournament to invite one or a few of you to our wedding, which will be in Tulsa for sure, but I don't know what it would take to do that or if it's worth it to NDN or us to try. It'd be fun though for sure!

[BnLM5]

Sure just let me get a hold of my good friend "Bill Gates" and see if he will spot me some cash! lol Hell, if so I just pay for everyone that wants to come....LOL

[taylovesthebeatles]

Sure just let me get a hold of my good friend "Bill Gates" and see if he will spot me some cash! lol Hell, if so I just pay for everyone that wants to come....LOL

LOL Bill Gates is not my good friend. Steve Jobs, on the other hand...LOL sorry I had to go there. But yeah, indispensable cash would be amazing, although money will never buy me love! LOL

[BnLM5]

Rich in love, used to me my motto. Where is all the Love? Is what I say now!

[eejit101]

Of course i want to come.

duh!

[BnLM5]

No eejit ='s Why party? ;)

[eejit101]

Exactly.

Ill bring myself, glo brings and cooks the food, everyone else, bring me Oreos and beer!

[BnLM5]

Modest are we? Gawd.....!

[eejit101]

Huh??

I meant i shudnt have to bring stuff as im flying 6,000 miles for it!

[BnLM5]

totally fair!

[eejit101]

Indeed.

Ive decided we should all play poker with prop bets.

Bounty shots, get AA and u have to drink a beer in one go e.t.c

[taylovesthebeatles]

Indeed.

Does proper bets include strip poker? I'm not convinced I want to be involved if so, but perhaps I could be persuaded.

[eejit101]

No, not strip poker.

Id play Lori Headsup at Strip Poker tho:)

[BnLM5]

When will you be arriving? (I am not anxious tho)

[taylovesthebeatles]

No, not strip poker.

Id play Lori Headsup at Strip Poker tho:)

I think it's a safe bet that everyone here would!

[GloBug]

well i wouldnt mind lol.

[BnLM5]

Oh stop already! Do you wanna play too Tay? :) lol

[taylovesthebeatles]

Oh stop already! Do you wanna play too Tay? :) lol

Definitely! Count me in.

[BnLM5]

Definitely! Count me in.

you are such a wild thing!

[taylovesthebeatles]

you are such a wild thing!

I know, haha. Thanks? I think? lol.

[GloBug]

wild thing
u make my heart sing
i forgot the rest

lol

[taylovesthebeatles]

wild thing
u make my heart sing
i forgot the rest

lol

I make everything
groooovy?

lol I know I do!

[GloBug]

I make everything
groooovy?

lol I know I do!

thats what it was. thanks

[eejit101]

You guys are all snuts:)

The question is, would Lori play any of us at strip poker?

[taylovesthebeatles]

You guys are all ****s:)

The question is, would Lori play any of us at strip poker?

By guys do you mean guys and girls or just guys like Glo Bug? :)

I dunno, would you Lori?

[DINGO8MYBABY]

Don't do it. The economy in this country is in the toilet and will probably be there for a long time. Stay where you are, in a country that has decent culture as well. You'd be better off moving to Malta than here.

[eejit101]

lol, the UK is about to hit the Stone Age

(better than GloBug, who is hitting the stoner age:))

(disclaimer - that was a joke, couldnt resist, no harm intended, i love GloBug and would have his children)

[BnLM5]

You guys are all ****s:)

The question is, would Lori play any of us at strip poker?

I guess there is only one way to find out........

[eejit101]

ask?

Ok - Lori - Would you play me at Strip poker? And maybe give me a massage, as my back hurts

[BnLM5]

Before I say, let me say...

Firstly, I was thinking more along the lines of coming here and asking.

and ask you....
Secondly, Do you think I could beat you at poker?

[eejit101]

Pretend i am there and asking.

Secondly - yes, if you got lucky:)

[BnLM5]

Alright I will give you a massage and when i'm done we will talk about the cards.

[eejit101]

Pfft, youll be lucky if we even get to playing cards! lol

[taylovesthebeatles]

Eejit- I talked to my friend who lives in Plymouth and was an Au Pair in America for a while about emigrating to the US, and he told me there were four ways to go about it:

1. Be highly educated and basically say you'll be very useful to the US if you emigrate here.

2. Get a job in the US before entering and have your company sponsor you, ie. endorse your application for a visa

3. Start a business in the US

or

4. Marry an American

I hope this is somewhat helpful for you.

[eejit101]

Very helpful thanks.

I woke up cos a car decided to crash outside my house. Nice of them, selfish people, crashing while people are asleep.

Ive decided to Marry an American.

Heres my options -

NDN - Marry me?
GloBug - Get a divorce and marry me?
Lori - Same as GloBug.
Navtua - Sorry, your not American.
CaliGirl - Meh, i could wake up next to ya every morning:)
Sassy - No idea if ur nice, but u said im cute so im easy!
Tay - I cant rbing myself to even attempt to spoil what u and klink have.
Anyone else - For Double Stuff Oreos im yours.



Ok, back to sleep, and posibly the insanity ward, for me

[BnLM5]

GN...

Would it be sad if I found this to be romantic? Hmmmmm?

[GloBug]

lol thats some funny cabbage.

[BnLM5]

I've been thinking and doing a little math and I have figured that.....Sure you woke up! What, did you only sleep for 10 minutes 20 minutes might be pushing it? lol You were practically in the (REM) stage of sleep already. Not..... However, FYI Waking during this stage (REM) should enable you to clearly remember any vivid or lucid dreaming that you may have experienced.

And why do I never come in first ever.... not in Ringo's trivia, not in Chat Box trivia, not here, or there, and not on your Marry me list.....Gawd

[taylovesthebeatles]

That's sweet of you, eejit. Thanks and thanks for making me laugh. Lori are you okay? Try not to be so hard on yourself okay hun? *hugs*

[0maxpower0]

I might be mistaken but i know for a fact that in the US you have to claim your winnings on gambling, lotto and poker annd all that on your taxes. I remember reading that the guy who won the first survivor, richard hatch, never put his winnings on his tax income statement or whatever, and def got nabbed for it. But i was under the impression that in the UK, your winnings on gambling and poker do no have to be claimed on your teaxes. Maybe you could help me out with that one if i am mistaken. But hell, Id take 20-30% of my winnings back for a little bit of rain, and some craazy blokes and mates and all that pip pop cherrio stuff. But really though if I am mistaken please tell me, because I had asdpirations to move to where YOU are and get out of this god foresaken nation-state that is called teh united states of america. If i am wrong, i think ill just save my money and then go move to new zealand and never play poker again. But if im wrong about the UK and not having to claim your poker winnings please holla, cause everything ive looked up and all teh blokes i talked to said that i would not.

[eejit101]

FYI - Britain is not like you see in Mary Poppins.

- We do not pay taxes on winnings. Its nice.

- Tay - yw

- Lori - You are number 1, itd just be too obvious if i kept putting ya att he top. Gotta mix it up

[Pokerkitty6]

I wish we didn't have to pay taxes on our winnings. I guess we just have to pay to play.

[BnLM5]

I wish we didn't have to pay taxes on our winnings. I guess we just have to pay to play.

No kidding we pay taxes on every thing, or so it seems!

[freeringo]

I really think that Eejit needs 2 weeks at my cabin
before he enters the real world U.S.
He needs to regroup.
I sense alot of turmoil in his spirit right now.
I will concentrate on you today bro to try and help ya.:):):):)

[eejit101]

Cool... i have no idea how thatll help but thanks!

[freeringo]

Cool... i have no idea how thatll help but thanks!

It would help if you were receptive.
Like busting a coconut on a rock with you.

ENLIGHTEN UP

[eejit101]

Im receptive!

Im testing too. Busy busy

[woohoosue]

ok the way i look at it ..... sounds like u need to fly in ..... stay at cabin..... look around see if u like us(US)..... BBQ with glo and lori ....see if you like Lori ..... from there make plans for marriage or go home and fill out paaper work for job you scoped out while here oh and buy a braves hat once you get here you schmuck...start supporting our economy.... i'm ok with u coming here ..... as an imagrant goes we could do worse gl guy US could use another funny guy so bring it

[taylovesthebeatles]

lol I feel kind of sorry for Lori's husband in all of this! I'll leave everything up to eejit and Lori though- if they want to get married, that sounds good to me. And I agree with Sue, eejit would definitely be a positive addition to this country (although I personally would love to live in England, lol).

[eejit101]

Hmmm, we would need to check with her Husband first. Thats only fair.

And of course the US needs me.

Don't feel sorry for any body! Really people make theirs beds and people get to sleep in them including me. And eejjjjj would def be a possitive addition to this country. :)

[eejit101]

eeeeeeejjjjjj lol!!!

Id be a positive addition to anywhere!!

Glo's BBQ.
Tays wedding.
NDNs house.
Lori's lovelife.
Ringos cabin.


You name it, id rock it.

[BnLM5]

Hmmm Prob not a good idea fair or not. And needs ??? NO! Maybe more like wants??? there is a difference! :)

[eejit101]

How about both???

Dude I'd so love to have you bartend at our reception. That would be amaaaazing. Do you have any DJ'ing skills too? Eejit would make it the most kickass reception ever! I'm this close to demanding you do it!

Ill mix up some beatles!

[taylovesthebeatles]

I can DJ.

You know that, ive posted it before.

Ill mix up some beatles!

I thought I'd remembered you saying that, but I wasn't completely sure. You'd better play some Beatles, or I'll have to go all Bridezilla on your bloody British arse!

[freeringo]

I can DJ.

You know that, ive posted it before.

Ill mix up some beatles!

I can get you a gig at the Indian Casino doing Karaoke.
I know the GM there good enough to swing it.
I had to turn the gig down last year due to lack of music.
I sold my Karoke business 4 years ago and it is quite costly to get the good stuff. $2000 min investment.
How ever for the Casino we would olny need the music.
They have all the equipment now.

[BnLM5]

which Casino Ringo?

[freeringo]

Diamond Mountain

[BnLM5]

hummm must be up a little higher than I was thinking. There are five relatively close to me. :)

[BnLM5]

How about both???

I must have missed this one.... But OK!

[0maxpower0]

No kidding we pay taxes on every thing, or so it seems!

Oh no, we do. a lot of them we dont have to pay (see: constituition) .. something about the government has no right to tax on income accured fro labor and wages... something like that :-/ ( that's my disappointed in america face)
hey lets switch places, u move to new england and ill move to old england... it'd be like that movie....

[eejit101]

Id use a laptop, with the software i have, and id just get a mate to ship me his 11,000 music files.
